Abstract

Background: In the ever-changing healthcare landscape of today, the nursing profession is essential to providing high quality patient care and guaranteeing successful results. With their compassionate and all-encompassing services, nurses are the backbone of healthcare. But new research has revealed a worrying pattern: nurses' increasing turnover rates. Aim of this study: to investigate the relationship between abusive supervision, nurses' turnover intention and resilience. Subjects and Method: Research Design: A descriptive correlational research design was used to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: Al-Aharar Teaching Hospital in Zagazig, Egypt. Subjects: Simple random sample from nurses (n=233),were selected from the above-mentioned setting. Tools of data collection: Three tools were used: abusive supervision, nurses' turnover intention and resilience scales. Results: 22.3%of the studied nurses perceived their leaders as abusive supervision in high level, 67.5% reported a high level of turnover intention while 76.7% had high level of resilience. Conclusion: there was statistically significant positive correlation between abusive supervision and turnover intention, indicating that as abusive supervision increases, turnover intention also rises while resilience acts as a moderator in this relationship. Recommendations: Organizations should offer resilience-building programs specifically designed for healthcare professionals. These programs should include mindfulness training, cognitive behavioral strategies and stress management workshops.
